(5) embodiment

The present invention is further illustrated below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments:

Embodiment:

Present embodiment comprises base, cylindrical shell, takes over a business, catoptron, support, video camera and resistive heater, and support and resistive heater are fixed on the base; Base with take over a business by cylindrical shell to link into an integrated entity; Video camera is rack-mount; On catoptron is arranged on.

In conjunction with Fig. 1-2, Fig. 1 is the optical system synoptic diagram of omnidirectional imaging system; Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the present invention.Among Fig. 1: F is the bi-curved perifocus in hyperboloidal mirror place; F is the bi-curved over focus in hyperboloidal mirror place.Extended line to the light of perifocus takes place to assemble at over focus after the reflection at the hyperboloidal mirror minute surface, and the photocentre of camera lens overlaps with over focus, thereby obtains distinct image.

Take over a business shape as shown in Figure 2, constitute by aluminum.Take over a business little ring 1a internal recess and play the effect that hyperboloidal mirror 2 is installed, take over a business the bottom that little ring 1a internal recess is slightly larger than hyperboloidal mirror 2, hyperboloidal mirror 2 can be bonded on 1 firmly with glue.Take over a business little ring 1a outer grooves and play the effect that connects cylindrical shell 4, glue together with glue.

Hyperboloidal mirror 2 is made of glass material, and minute surface satisfies the hyperboloid equation, and minute surface plating reflectance coating strengthens reflectivity, the bottom of hyperboloidal mirror by glue with take over a business to be connected.The hyperboloidal mirror size is determined as follows:

Choosing video camera CCD image-generating unit pixel size is d _Ccd, lens focus is f, and these two indexs are preset parameter, and establishing corresponding image pixel is r _Pix, the hyperboloid focal length is 2e, knows that easily the catoptron rear end face is h＞2e from camera lens centre of perspectivity distance, can roughly make catoptron rear end face radius r by formula (1) _Top=d _Top/ 2, for easy to process, can cut-off footpath d _TopBe integer.

$r_{\mathrm{top}}=\frac{h}{f}{r}_{\mathrm{pix}}{d}_{\mathrm{ccd}}---\left(1\right)$

Catoptron is a surface of revolution, can analyze in XOY plane, establishes Hyperbolic Equation to be:

$\frac{y^2}{a^2}-\frac{x^2}{b^2}=1---\left(2\right)$

The form that can abbreviation becomes parametric equation:

x＝btant

t＝(-t ₀，t ₀) (3)

y＝asect

If a=kb, again $e=\sqrt{a^2+{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="b"\; filenames="A20071007183500071.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">b</figure-callout>}}^2}=b\sqrt{1+{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="k"\; filenames="A20071007183500071.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">k</figure-callout>}}^2},$ And to get the maximum field of view angle be α, as shown in Figure 1, knows that easily the P point coordinate is (r _Top, e+r _TopCot (π-α)) also be Substitution formula (2) can get,

$\frac{{(e+r_{\mathrm{top}}\cot (\mathrm{\&pi;}-\mathrm{\&alpha;}))}^2}{{\left(k\frac{e}{\sqrt{1+k^2}}\right)}^2}-\frac{{r_{\mathrm{top}}}^2}{{\left(\frac{e}{\sqrt{1+k^2}}\right)}^2}=1---\left(4\right)$

Have only a unknown number k in the following formula, can find the solution with Matlab is auxiliary.Remove a minus solution trivial, can solve k=k ₀, $a=k_0\frac{e}{\sqrt{1+{k_0}^2}},$ $b=\frac{e}{\sqrt{1+{k_0}^2}},$ $t_0=\arctan \left(r_{\mathrm{top}}\frac{\sqrt{1+{k_0}^2}}{e}\right).$ Substitution formula (4) can obtain Hyperbolic Equation.

Cylindrical shell 3 is made of glass material, can protect hyperboloidal mirror 2 and video camera 6.The height of cylindrical shell 3 is by the bi-curved focal length in hyperboloidal mirror 2 places, and cylindrical shell 3 is recessed to be taken over a business to determine apart from the distance of taking over a business with the length of base 5 and the top live part of hyperboloidal mirror 2.

Support 4 is made of two the same submounts.Fluted 4a in the middle of each submounts, the height of groove is slightly larger than the fixed part that video camera 6 is given prominence to, the distance that the degree of depth will make inside grooves between two submounts is greater than 3～4 millimeters of the width of video camera 6, and the screw-in depth of two screws that video camera can be by fixed cameras 6 on the x direction of principal axis is finely tuned.Bar hole 4b, width are larger than the screwhole diameter of video camera 6 fixed parts, and length 10 millimeter can make video camera 6 can regulate at the y direction of principal axis.After video camera 6 position adjustments are good, with being installed in screw on the video camera fixing threaded hole 4c with the stationkeeping jail of video camera 6.Support is to adopt screw to fix by the counterbore of support fixing threaded hole 4d and base 5 with being connected of base 5.

Base 5 is made of aluminum, and 4 heavy through hole fixed supports are stayed in the centre.Base 5 upper surfaces have an annular chassis groove 5b to be used to adopt glue ways of connecting fixed cylinder 3.The power lead of video camera, video signal cable and resistive heater power supply are to link to each other with resistive heater with the video camera of full closed panoramic vision sensor inside respectively by aviation plug-in unit 5a.There is air intake valve 5c base 5 bottoms and the valve 5d that gives vent to anger, and can utilize these two valves to charge into nitrogen by closed panoramic vision sensor.This full closed panoramic vision sensor is the fully closed effect that reaches Waterproof, moistureproof and dustproof.

Resistive heater 7 is used for heating, when the internal temperature of full closed panoramic vision sensor is lower than the working temperature that video camera requires, can reach the working temperature requirement of video camera with the internal temperature that guarantees full closed panoramic vision sensor to the resistive heater power supply.
